Nossa Senhora do Monte futsal player excluded from national team amid discrimination allegations

Etson, who has excelled in several regional competitions, has demonstrated an impeccable performance in several games he has participated in this year. However, despite his impressive resume and significant contribution to the sport, the player was not called up to the Brava squad. This decision has raised questions about possible bias, as several commentators and fans have pointed to Etson's geographical origin, living in the parish of Nossa Senhora do Monte, as a factor in his exclusion.

The local community and its supporters have spoken out on social media and sports forums, accusing the selection system of being unfair and showing a prejudicial bias towards local players. “It is unacceptable that someone of Etson’s talent and dedication should be left out for reasons that have nothing to do with his ability on the pitch,” said one critic.

On the other hand, the Brava Futsal Club has not yet made an official statement on the allegations. Selection decisions often involve a complex combination of factors, but the lack of a clear clarification has fuelled speculation even further.

While the debate continues, the situation highlights the urgent need for a transparent and fair review of the selection processes, to ensure that merit and talent are the only criteria considered when choosing athletes. The community of Nossa Senhora do Monte, for its part, remains steadfast in its support for Etson, hoping that the case receives due attention and that justice prevails.
